Scandinavian Academy of Aeronautics

Scandinavian Academy of Aeronautics (Skandinaviens Flygtekniska Akademi) was a Swedish accredited college specializing in aerospace engineering and avionics, situated in Gothenburg from 1973 and in Karlsborg from 1998 to 2003. The college was a major contributor of engineers and researchers in partnership with the aerospace industry, major airliners and other universities.

History
Scandinavian Academy of Aeronautics was founded and opened by Runo Ewe-Ericson and Percival Ewe-Ericson in 1973 with its main campus situated in Bellmannsgatan 10, Gothenburg. For a short period in the mid 1990s its campus location was in Vestre Hamngatan, Gothenburg, before it moved to Karlsborg in 1998 until 2003. The number of students was radically reduced when the school moved to Karlsborg, and as co-founder and acting principal Percival Ewe-Ericson passed away in 2002 the school was closed down the following year. The shutdown led to the school filing a subpoena against the city of Karlsborg claiming they did not receive the funds promised for the establishing of the new campus.

In 2003 Lillian Syrene Ewe-Ericson founded an entity in cooperation with the Gothenburg Aviation Museum (Göta Flygmuseum) to preserve the cultural heritage the school has contributed to Sweden's aeronautical history.
